Florida Doctor Accused of Filming Under Woman's Skirt

The state Department of Health says a Lake County doctor has agreed to stop practicing in Florida after his recent arrest for recording under a woman's skirt.

Dr. Akram Ismail was caught Thursday filming up the skirt of a woman in a Groveland Publix store. He later posted a $5,000 bond and was released from jail. Surveillance video from the store showed him placing his phone under the victim's skirt.

The Orlando Sentinel reports Ismail was previously arrested on charges of hiring a hit man to harm a professional rival. He was found guilty on a lesser charge.

Ismail was sentenced to six months in federal prison in 2012 after resisting an air marshal on an Orlando-bound flight.

Records don't indicate whether he's hired an attorney.
